He mentioned it via his Twitter account, along with a few other tidbits.

Had a very good day on the project today. We have a long and hard road ahead of us, but the game is going to be so sweeeeeeeet!

The delay of the film (mad Max) was "announced" yesterday. I wish that meant I got more time but alas...no.

Going to be heading out to Stockholm for a really long time in august. Swedish winters suck.

Thank you! I assure the mad max game, which am now directing, is on track and moving forward brilliantly!

We are in the midst of our first mocap session for the game. As usual...nothing is going smoothly! http://yfrog.com/5uyzhjj

That url he posted leads to a picture he uploaded of what I assume is the Mad Max game crew at work on some motion capture stuff. Cool.

Anyone know what Sweden-based game developer is producing this? Ubisoft?

sadly i cannot answer your question but i can say i am happy to hear the game is still on and the director is confident that the game will be "sweeeet." i dare to dream maybe this will be for mad max games what golden eye was to movie games. it's not likely but the elements are in place at least. we'll just have to see. if the movies delayed but the game is not i wounder if we'll see a game release before the movie is done. i kinda would like to hope. thanks for the post.

A great news!! I can't wait for this game, but I do not hope it will be released before the movie, because I'm a moviegoer first, then a gameplayer.

Good news....i wonder what platforms this will be coming to, hope Pc is included.

[Bubba Fat]

Maybe this game will be for PS3 only and a sorta Heavy Rain? This was the best game I've ever played.

[Stef-Man]

I think it will be a multi platforms game. Maybe.

[Wasted]

Great to hear it's on track again, thought it was dead.
I just hope that they can create a MM game that can stand on it's own.

I think it will be a multi platforms game. Maybe.

Well barlog answered to my tweets :

Cory Barlog
more info to come soon! No details on platforms but I promise I will keep you all posted!

Cory Barlog
yeah we are busy working our way out of preproduction. We probably won't have much out for a bit. I will keep posting tho!

Cory Barlog
sadly I can't say right now. It sucks, I know. The game is going to be awesome, I can say that:)

[biolumen]

Whoa, he answered. Nice one, FordMercury.

In response to someone else, he said...

we are planning to release somewhere near the film...exact date TBD. We won't be putting anything out for a bit, sorry:(

Taking that with what he said earlier about the filming delay having no effect on the game's deadline, it would appear that the film's release date, whenever that might be, also remains unchanged.

i sincerely hope us pc gamers dont get screwed over and it only goes to console..that would totally grind my teeth, and my disgust for console gaming would grow even further...

so here's hoping, i guess
